That's not to day ESPN has been hiring hot, knowledgeable chicks. Or recent players who cam form a complete sentence. They haven't, and they've done a horrible job there. But being pretty doesn't exclude sports knowledge.
True, looks and knowlegde aren't mutually exclusive. I guess I'm not sure if I'm even upset about this trend when I probably watch about two hours of ESPN per year that isn't MNF. I like football and hockey, and there are dedicated networks covering both of those, so ESPN coverage isn't really necessary to what I'm looking for.
